MOUNT AUBURN CEMETERY. 

„ The first meeting in furtherance of a design for a 

> garden cemetery, was had in Nov. 1825, at the 

^.~ house of Dr. Jacob Bigelow in Boston, which was 

^^ attended by eight gentlemen, viz : — Geo. Bond, 

Wm. Sturgis, John Lowell, Sam'l. P. Gardiner, 

Tho9. W. Ward, Nathan Hale, John Tappan, and 

Jacob Bigelow : with them the plan for a cemetery 

originated, and Messrs. Bond and Tappan were 

appointed a committee for finding a suitable lot in 

a desirable location for the purpose. That committee 

used every diligence in their duties, but without 

any good success, and little or nothing was done on 

the subject for the five following years. 

In 1S30, Mr. Geo. W. Brimmer offered to the 
Horticultural Society of Massachusetts, 72 acres of 
the land, now constituting part of Mount Auburn, for 
the sum of 6,000 dollars, being at the reasonable 
price of $83 33 1-2 per acre; this lot had long been 
prized as a retired and beautiful spot, a cool retreat 
from the summer's sun, and a favorite walk for the 
students at the university and the youth in its 
vicinity. It was formerly known as ''Stone's 
woods," but as if by general consent, it had acquired 
the more interesting cognomen of " Sweet Auburn." 
A public meeting was called, of gentlemen inter- 
ested in founding a cemetery, in June 1831, at 
which the Hon. Judge Story presided, assisted by 
the Hon. Edward Everett, as secretary. It was 
then and there unanimously resolved, to accept the 
offer made by Mr. Brimmer : an act of incorporation 
was obtained of the legislature of the state, June 23 
1831, and the consecration of Mount Auburn took 
place on the 21th of Sept. of that year: an interest- 
ing address was delivered by the Hon. Joseph Story, 
prayers by the Rev. Dr. Ware and Rev. John Pier- 
pont, and the foUoMdng hymn from the pen of the 
last named gentleman, gave interest to that solemn 
and impressive occasion. 



HYMN. 

To Ihee, O God, in Iinmble tnisl, 

Our heat Is iheir chee I'ul incense Inirn, 
For ihii thy woid, " I'lioii ail oldiist," 

And unlo dust sliall Ihou letinii. 
And what \ve>e life, life's wo: k nil done. 

The hope-., jos's, iovcj, thai cling: to clay, 
All, all, depa'lcd, one by one. 

And yet life's load home on for aye 1 
Decay ! decav I 'lis stamped on all.

Ce our long sleep beneath youi shade I 
Here to thy bosom mother ea? lb, 

Take bac\ in peace what ihou hast given, 
And all that is of heavenly hi ih, 

O God, in peace, lecall to heaven. 

In addition to the lot purchased, of 72 ncres, other 
adjoining grounds were obtained by the horticuliii- 
ral society, to the extent of 3S 1-3 acres, ar a cost of 
$3,766 89, being at about ■'8;9S 30 per acre; thus 
combining to,i!;ether 110 I- i acres, sufficiently ca- 
pacious for 20,000 lots of 300 feet each, at a cost of 
$9,7Gr) 89 ; a clear title to which, was generously 
transferred to the proprietofs of the cemetery for 
$4,222 42. 

In the course of 1831 and '32, about 830,000 were 
expended in making roads, buildinsf a gate-way, 
fence, a building ibr the .superintendent, \vith other 
incumbent objects of improvement ; and every year 
since, has been noted by renewed < fforts with 
great expenditures, to make the place what it should 
be, to meet the be.-.t hopes of its founders, and of 
those associate proprietors, who have since then 
united with them in this great, good and laudable 
undertaking. 

The front entrance to the cemetery from the old 
Cambridge road, through a lofty gate-way, is from 
an Egyptian model, (the drawing of which was 
made iDy Dr. Bigelow.) which gate o|ien^ in front of 
Central Avenue, on the north boundary line of 
the cemetery; its cap beirinfj the following inscrip- 
tion : " Then shall the dust return to earth as it was; 
and the spirit shall return to God who gave it." The 
frame was made of wood; finished by a rough-cast 



5 



imitation of stone ; this has been removed the present 
season and one of stone supplies its place. 

Mount Auburn Cemetery is situated on the 
western boundary line of Cambridge, and stretches 
into Watertown two thirds of its surface : lies west 
from Boston about four and a half miles, and one 
and a quarter miles west from Harvard University, 
comprises 110 1-3 acres of dry gravell}^ land, tinely 
wooded with healthy vigorous trees in almost every 
variety of the forest species. There are five artifi- 
cial ponds of water : the highest mound is 125 feet 
above the waters of Charles River, which flows 
nearly to the south and south eastern line of the 
cemetery. The whole extent of ground is divided 
by carriage avenues 20 feet wide, and foot paths six 
feet wide, (for an extent of thirty miles,) so curved 
and winding in their course,as to make it difficult for 
a stranger to keep the even tenor of his way and 
thread the mazy labyrinth with a mind serene ; hill 
and glen salute the eye at almost every stopping 
point, and the ever varying forms of mausoleums, 
temples, and obelisks, from the most splendid pro- 
duction of the sculpturing art, to the neat and simple 
pyramid, claim attention in every direction. The 
grounds are mostly overshadowed by foliage of 
large forest trees, the whole combining to affili- 
ate the spot, as a suitable place for the living to 
visit and there ponder on the ever changing state of 
man's mortality. 

lie who hath walked in grrief, with mournful (read, 
O 'er that vast mansion for the silent dead ; 

Sure must have felt, slow creepinig: o'er h'u breast— 
Tlie impressive stillness of the placf, for rest. 

The greatest elevation, called Mount Auburn, is 
destined at some future day to bear a tower erected 
on its summit, vvhose apex may afford to the visitor 
a splendid panoramic view of the surrounding coun- 
try, and the variety of scenes in which the eye may 
there revel, will nearly compete with that most inter- 
esting of all panoramic views, as seen from the 
1*

dome of the state hou?e in the city of Boston. Frotrt 
the proposed tower, may be seen ihe ciiy looming jn 
the east, with its ten thousand buildings and its 
numerous elevated spires, steeples and eminences, 
its shipping and its railways to every section of the 
couniiy ; to the right of which, in a south-east 
direction, Roxbury and Dorchester with many 
country seats, beautiful gardens, with the blue hdls 
of Milton in the back ground ; in the south, Brook- 
line and Brighton, withtlieir numerous grazing hills 
and well cultivated farms, afiordmg a rich treat to 
the eye: in the south-west, tlie beautiful villages of 
Wateriown and Waltham, M'ith the meandering of 
the crooked Charles, and many water mills on their 
southern bountlary line ; West Cambridge with fa- 
mous Lexington on the norih-west ; Somerville and 
Bledford m the north, Charlestown with its battle 
monument 22U feei high, its Navy yard and Dry 
Dock, costing one and a half millions of dollars ; 
Maiden on the north-easl-by-north, and Chelsea 
and Lynn on the north-east, bounded by the waters 
of Massachusetts Bay, whose surface is dotted 
with the heads of many green islands and made 
brilliant with numerous craft, plying their sails of 
steam, for reaching adjacent or distant places. 

At the funeral solemnities of Dr. Spurzheim, whose 
body was there deposited November 17, 1832, aged 
56, the following beautiful Ode, by the Rev. Mr. 
Pierpont, was part of the exercises : —

Rev. John TiiorntoxN Kirkland, D. D. 




A monument, which is a tribute of the Alumni 
of Harvard University to the memory of the lalo 
President Kirkland, has been erected on the sum- 
mit of Harvard Hill. Tt is a large upright sarco- 
phagus, of Italian marble, with gothic panels and 
decorations, and is surmounted by a book and doubld 
scroll. The following is the inscription : —

John T. Kirkland, and a twin brother, George 
Whitfield Kirkland, were born at Little Falls, town 
of Herkimer, Herkimer county, Slate of New York, 
on the 17th of Aug. 1760. The lather of the twins, 
was Samuel Kirkland, of Norwich. Connecticut, a 
useful missionary among the Indians for many 
years. In Nov. 1772, the family settled in Stock- 
bridge, Massachusetts ; at 4 years of age, young 
John T., received a kick from a horse in the centre 
of his forehead, which caused an indent which was 
prominent through life : at the age of 13, he went 
to Andover on a course of studies for two years ; 
thence he was admitted into the freshman class of 
Harvard University. In. the winter vacation of 
1787, being then a junior, 16 years of age, he en- 
listed as a volunteer in the army of 4400 men, un- 
der the command of General Lincoln, to put down 
the insurrection of Shay.s; after a brief and success- 
ful campaign young Kirkland returned to his studies 
at Cambridge. 

In a memorandum of his own hand writing, he 
observed, '''one misfortune befel me in my junior 
"year, which this world can never repair, my moth- 
" er on January 23d, 1788, died ; the highest pleas- 
'• ure I could ever enjoy was that of pleasing her." 

Immediately after commencement, on the 15th of 
July, he returned to Andover, as an assistant in the 
academy for one year ; being then doubtful in his 
own mind, which of the two professions, law or 



divinity, should claim him its disciple. Tn July 1790, 
he returned to the paternal root' where he ."tudied 
divinity with the Rev. Dr. Stephen U est, but the 
higli Hopkinsian doctrines of that teacher, were 
not congenial to the mind of ihe pupil. In 1792, he 
made a visit to his father in the state of N. York, 
and spent 'several months in the neighborhood of 
the Onedia Indians. 

He returned to Cambridge College, and by 
means of the theologit-al treasures which a later 
Holiis had contributed to the library of the Univer- 
sity, !Mr. Kirkland was enabled to pursue that 
free and independent siudy of the sacred profession, 
which led him to embrace more enlarged and juster 
views of religion than those in which he had been 
trained from childhood ; on the IbihofNov 1792, 
he received the appointment of tutor in the depart- 
me'nt of logic and metaphysics, which office he 
hell tillJune 14. 1794. 

John Thornton Kirkland preached for the first 
time, at the Church in Summer Street, August 23, 
1793 ; was ordained pastor over that society, Febru- 
ary 5. 1791. and continued its revered and respect- 
ed head, until 1810. On the Nth of November, of 
that year, he bet-ame Pre.^ident of Harvard Univer- 
sity, which for 17 years, proved to be the Augustan 
age for that college ; the breath of Intellectual life 
was infused into the almost lifele.^s pulses of the 
institution, and it became animated A\ilh an entire 
new vital spirit : The law school was established: 
the medical s -hool r-susitated and re-organized; the 
theological, erected into asep?irate department, and 
learned professors, placed in the chairs of the seve- 
ral faculties : Tne college was crowded A\'ith stud- 
ents ; never had it been so popular and prosper- 
ous. 

On the 1st of Sept. 1827, President Kirkland was 
united bv marriage, to Miss Elizabeth Cabot, and 
on the 2Sih of March 1828, he resigned the office as 
Harvard's head. 



10 



In Oct. 1828, he commenced a tour with his wife, 
through these United States : and the year following, 
they embarked at N.York, on the 11th of April, 
for Havre, and passed three and a half years abroad, 
on an extensive course of travel : they returned 
home in Oct. 1832, he, being much improved in 
health, and resided in the city the remaining days 
of his busy, diversified and eminent life, which af- 
ter an illness of about one week, terminated at 6 o'ck., 
A. M. on Sunday, April 26, 1840, aged 69 years. 

Thus passed into the shadow of death, the great, 
the learned, and the good John Thornton Kirkland, 
whose generous dealing with the youth while under 
his charge, kept him on the list with the moneyless 
and destitute : a discourse on his life and character 
was delivered by the Rev. Alexander Young, at the 
Church on Church Green, Boston, May 3, 1840. 

Mr Kirkland was quite a voluminous writer : a 
large amount of his labour has been printed, but a 
still larger amount remains for his biographer to 
preserve from oblivion by the same means.

and died 
September 2Uth, 1824. 




Joseph Steevens Buckminster, was born in Ports- 
mouth, N. H. in 1783, his father Joseph Buckmins- 
ter was a settled clergyman in that town. The son 
received his degree in Harvard University, in 1800, 
when he was but 17 years of age, and was then es- 
teemed the best and ripest scholar in that grad- 
uating class. In his youth, it is said of him, that 
while his associates' were indulging in recreations 
and sports, that he would be in retirement at study : 
Mr. Buckminster was ordained as pastor over the 
Church and Society in Brattle Square, in 1803, (hav- 
ing then numbered 20 years,) successor to the 
much beloved and respected Rev. Peter Thatcher, 
D. D. who died in 1802. 

Mr. Buckminster was liberal in his theological 



12 



views, yel lie was Iruly evangelical; founding his 
religious faith on chiisiian revelation, divine grace 
and deep re|ien!aiKe for sin, a> necessary to salva- 
Vation : his publications gave proof of (orrect taste 
as a writer and of great acquiremenis as a scholar : 
he die;i in June, 1812 ; at the early age of 29 years, 
at a lime when thefiiends ot learning and liberal 
Christianity, were indulging in ardent aniicipations 
of his future usefulness and farre. 

Thus perished in his prime, "that youthful marvel, 
thehopeof the chuich. the oracle of diviiiiiy, full 
of all faculiies, of all studies, ot a'l learning." 

The funeral sermon was by the Rev. Dr. J. T. 
Kirkiand, June 11, 1512. his remains were removed 
to Mount Auburn, in 1842. 

A posthumous volume of his sermons was pub- 
lished under the auspices of the Biaitlc S'rcet Socie- 
ty, which passed through i^e\'eial editions : for 
biblical learning and enthusiasm, there were but few 
his equals, and we may add, m-ne lo suipass him, 
which he generated a tasie and love for in ihe com- 
munity, and which since then, has been much culti- 
vated. 



VICINITV OF MOUNT ATEUt^N. 

In the immediate n#ighborh(iod of the Cemetery 
are some few objects worthy of especial notice : the 
venerable ahna maUr on college green, [lamed in 
1631), sixteen years after the landing of the pilgrim 
fathers on the ice-bound, rocky s!,ore of Plymouth, 
has now 38 professors and tutors. 515 students, a 
library of 50 COO volumes, and extensive philo- 
sophic apparatus, wiih every oiher facility for en- 
larging the sphere ol' knowledge, education and of 
virtuous ambition : individual cc si to prudent, careful 
pupils about two huntlred dollai> per year, including 
board. The bo'anic garden of the college, is about 
three quarters of a mile norihwes erly (rom Mt. Au- 
burn, and is wiiriliyof exanuuaiion and iidndration. 

Fresh fond whose Leaiullul .>l.eel of water covers 



13 



a surface of one hundred and eiglity-tvvo and a half 
acres, is about one founh of a mile north of JMount 
Auburn. This spot has been i'amous many years as 
a shady and pleasant resort for parties during the 
summer season ; and the ice trade in winter is 
extensive : 100,000 tons were taken the past season 
from the pond, and it is capable of furnishing 1,000 
tons to the acre : for the tiopical iHmates of the 
earth this article has been shipped with a great 
return profit to the enterprising merchant : it is said, 
that the State of Massachusetts may be supplied 
with cotton from abroad, sufficient lor irs manufac- 
turing purposes, by exchanging cargoes of ice for 
cargoes of cotton ; the conveyance fur ice to the 
shipping.is by a railroadfrom the pond, to wharves in 
Charlestown, a distance of six mde.>-, on which a 
car for passengers, also, pas^es three times per day 
each way •, fare 12 1-2 cents. '1 he passenger depot 
is near to the two bridges in Charlestown. 

The experiment lor freezing the water, for early 
shipment, was successful in part, as it hastened its 
coagulation three or four weeks earlier than it would 
have frozen in the pond, but the ice was not so clear, 
clean, or pure a quality. 

Jacob Wyeih, a graduate of HarViird <'ollege, 
on a tour through liurope, not finding any spot 
so beautiful to his imagination as his father's cow- 
yard, on the banks of Fresh Pond, offered to take 
that p;irt as his only share of the paternal property, 
and this was freely awarded to him by all concerned. 
It was soon converted into a place for public resort, 
and an independent fortune for its proprietor, was 
his reward for thirty years correct attention to its 
incumbent duties. 



ESTATE IN THE VICINITY OF TllV CEMETERY. 

We wish we were at liberty lo name the owner of 
a splendid srarden comprising about 1 17 acres, which 
is situated about one mile in a northeast direction 
from Mount Auburn : but the worthy proprietor 

2 



u 



■jvhose princely fortune enables him to gratify an ex 
''quisite fancy in every thing appertaining to the use- 
ful or ornamental arts, rather declines having any 
public record made of his unique and beautiful 
grounds. 

He has, probably, the most highly cultivated a^ 
well as the most beautiful establishment in the whole 
country; every object which there meets the eye 
possesses some peculiar property, or characteristic 
of its tasteful projector. The greenhouses are ex- 
tensive and filled with fruits and gorgeous flowers ; 
grapes, lemons, oranges, 6cc. &c. are in perfection 
any day throughout the year, raised in his own 
shrubbery, brought to maturity by the warm quali- 
fied air of steam. The cattle and bipeds of every 
kind are the very best of their species. 

Those ladies and gentlemen who have visited thi? 
villa on Fridays, are delighted with the neatness 
and perfection which pertains to every thing for the 
gratification of three, out of the five senses ot our 
enjoyment, viz : those for seeing, hearing and for 
inhaling the blossomed perfumes, but those for 
handling or for tasting, are there out of place. 

We cannot resist the impulse for relating an inci- 
dent respecting its owner M-hich is peculiarly char- 
acteristic of his feelings, habits, patriotism and lib- 
eral bearing. One of his helpmen, from Vermont 
had so strong a penrhant for one of the Durhan\ 
cows of fine quality and form, that he often men- 
tioned it to his associates, and, that if he could raise 
funds enough to purchase one, he should like it ; 
this soon reached the ear of his employer, who at 
once told him, that when his term of engagement 
expired, perhaps, he could have one at a reasonable 
price ; when the time had arrived for his departure, 
he was taken to the grazing-field, to say, which of 
the cows he liked best, and when that was ascertain- 
ed, with the reasons given for wishing to possess 
such an animal, viz : for the improvement of the 
breed in Vermont, and to help pay off a mortgage on 



15 



his little farm, the owner informed him he could 
have two cows if he wished ; the helpman replied, 
that he could not raise funds enough for more than 
one ; the reply then was, that he should have two 
as a free gift, and turning suddenly from the as- 
tonished vermonter, directed another man to drive 
two of the best cows in the lot, to the helpmaii's 
boarding house in the neighborhood.

CIRCULAR, 

Addressed to the Proprietors of Lots in the Cemetery. 



Boston, Jhne 5, 1841. 

At a meeting of the trustees of Mount Auburn 
Cemetery, holden this day, it was voted and ordered. 

That in all the deeds of lots which shall hereafter 
be granted by the corporation, it shall be provided 
as a condition, that no Tomb shall be constructed 
within the bound.s of the cemetery, except in and 
upon lots situated in such parts of the grounds, as 
shall be designated by the trustees for that purpose. 

The trustees have been led to this measure by 
their conviction that the multiplication of tombs in 
Mount Auburn has become a great and growing 
evil, encumbermg the grounds during the visiting 
season, with the materials and rubbish of building, 
and endangering: the stability of trees, by the large 
excavations which are required in their formation. 
But much greater objection exists in the fact, that 
the frequency with which ^Ollle of the tombs are 
opened, and the want of sufficient tightness in the 
doors of oiliers. have already given rise in the hot 
months, to a perceptible nuisance, which, if not sea- 
sonably checked, may hereafter grow into an intoler- 
able evil. 

Since the commencement of the undertaking of 
the Cemetery of Mount Auburn, the trustees have, 
at various times, expressed their earnest hope that 
the proprietors would see the expediency of devot- 
ing their lots to the purpose of separate, rather than 
of promiscuous interment. The very object of re- 
tiring to the country, has been to avoid the evils and 
abuses which were known to be attendant on the 
customs of city sepulture. It seldom happens that 
inhumed bodies remain secure in receptacles provid- 
ed for the collection of indefinite numbers. Each 
successive generation crowds out its immediate pre- 
decessors, whose, unknown and dismembered re- 



53 



mains are disposed of at the discretion of the im- 
dertaker. On the other hand, in a place like Mount 
Auburn, where space is abundant, the separate 
grave, allotted, marked and registered for the rest- 
ing place of each individual, is likely to remain in- 
violate for ages to come. This peaceful and perma- 
nent rest was the undoubted object proposed in the 
original foundation of this sanctuary of the dead, 
now become the pride of our metropolis, and the 
solace of its mourners, and destined to be the model 
of imitation throughout our extensive country. So 
far as its purpose shall be adhered to, the original 
object of the founders will be realized, and we shall 
hope that its ample shades will not be allowed to 
perpetuate the narrow, insecure, and sometimes re- 
volting arrangements, which its institution was ex- 
pressly designed to supersede. 

The trustees are aware that they have no control, 
in the foregoing respect, over the disposition of lots 
already sold. But they hope that, by restriction in. 
regard to the future, and by an appeal to the good 
sense and sympathies of the present proprietors, 
they may be able to set limits to an evil, to which 
their attention has been imperatively drawn.

CC/^' The trustees beg leave to call attention to the 
rule which requires that the bounds of each lot 
should be denoted by a permanent fence or posts, 
and the number of each be marked in a permanent 
manner in iron, or upon stone. A disregard of this 
rule has already caused the loss of many land- 
marks, and rendered a reference to the catalogue of 
proprietors, and plan of the cemetery, in many cas- 
es, impracticable.

MOUNT AUBURN. 

BY CHARLES SPRAGUE. 

There was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulchre . 

What myriads throng, in proud array,- 
With song-j of joy, and nags unfurledj 

To consecrate the glorious day, 
That gave a nation to the world ! 

We raise no shout, no trumpet sound. 
No banner to the breeze we spread ; 

Children of clay ! bend humbly round. 
We plant a city to the dead. 

For man a garden rose in bloom, 
When yon glad sun began to burn 5" 

He fell — and heard the awful doom — 
' ' Of dust thou art— to dust return ! ' ' 

Bst He, in whose pure faith we come, 

Who in a gloomier garden lay. 
Assured us ot a brighter home, « 

And rose, and led the glorious way. 

His word we trust ! When life shall end, 
Here be our long, Jong slumber passed i 

To the Jirst garden 's doom we bend, 
And bless the promise of the last' 



DEATH OF AN INFANT 

BY CKAKLES SPRAGUE. 

One little bud adorned my bower, 

And shed sweet fragrance round ; 
It grew in beauty, hour by hour, 
Till, ah I the spoiler eame in power, 
And crushed ii to the ground. 

Yet not forever in the dust 

That beauteous hud shall lie; 
No !— in the garden of the jus(, 
Ueneath God 's glorious eye, I trust, 
' Twill bloom again on high. 



59 



INFANT CHILD OF C. J. F. BINNEY. 
Death found strange beauty on that cherub brow, 
And dashed it out.— There was a tint of rose 
On cheek and lip,— he touched the veins with ice. 
And the rose faded ; forth from those blue eyes 
There spake a wishful tenderness,— a doubt 
Whether to grieve or sleep, which innocence 
Alone can wear. With ruthless haste be bound 
The silken fringes of their curtaining lids 
For ever ;— there had been a murmuring sound, 
With which the babe would claim its mother 's ear, 
Charming her even to tears. The spoiler set 
His seal of silence.— But there beamed a smile 
So fixed and holy from that marble brow,— 
Death gazed, and left it there;— he durst not steal 
The signet ring of Heaven. Mrs. Sigourney. 

We had copied these beautiful lines from a Philadelphia edition of 
*'Mrs. Hemans's Poetical Works," but seasonably dbcovered the 
error, to give credit to our own favorite American poetess. 




EMILY. 

4 1-2 years, died 1839. 

The sculptured form of the child of Mr. Binney, 
is an effective and interesting statue by Dexter. 



dO 



The child is represented as reposing in sleep on a 
couch, tired with play : her head is gently reclining 
to the left : the likeness is well preserved ; her little 
hands across her brea-st : shoes and stockings off, 
and one of her tiny feet across the other ; the atti- 
tude and dress, with a sweet smile of innocence and 
peace still lingering on her lips, constitute, as a 
whole, a chef d' ocuvre in the sculpturing art — so much 
living truth it seems to possess, as involuntarily to 
cause the beholder to lightly step around the spot, 
for fear of disturbing so calm a cherub slumber. 
On a marble slab are the following lines — 

" Shed not for her the bitter tear, 
Norg-ive the heart to vain regret, 
'Tis but the casket that lies here— 
The gem that filled it sparkles yet. " 

The design and execution of the frame work 
around the above statue, was by Cary, whose work- 
manship on the temples just erected to Kirkland and 
Buckminster, is so justly admired. 



decorAlTions of the tome. 

Bring flowers to the shrine where we kneel in prayer, 

If for friendship's offering, their place is tkere .' 

They speak of hope to the fainting heart , 

With a voice of promise they come and part; 

They sleep in dust in the wintry hours. 

They break forth in glory— bring flowers, bright flowers. 

Mrs. Hemana. 

There is no place where the flowers of nature seem 
more appropriately cultivated than around the grave : 
they call forth feelings of kindness towards those 
who have adorned the tomb of a friend with em- 
blems most lovely in nature, and seem to give testi- 
mony of kind and affectionate- sentiments during the 
lifetime of the deceased, continuing its holy and 
pure aspirations after mortality hath closed its 
earthly pilgrimage : there can be no kind return 
made for those later tokens of love or of friendly 
remembrance, save the satisfaction derived from 
an innate, good and just principle, and in having 
fulillled a pleasing duty. 



61 



The decoration of a grave with flowers is pecu- 
liarly grateful and beneficial with its effect on the 
pilgrim, as showing in a pleasing and interesting 
light, the delicate web and cherished bond of attach- 
ment, from one to another, and where that friend- 
ship perennially blooms in fragrance and beauty 
around the last home of the departed. 

" Bring flowers, bright flowers, ' ' 

f T the tomb of your friends. 



JOHN TAPPAN. 




The mausoleum at the junction of Linden and Nar- 
cissus paths, is an interesting piece of sculpture : it is 
an elevated broken pillar, with a garland of flowers 
thrown over its apex : the pillar resting on a pedestal 
with four equal pannels : on its front entabalture, U 



62 



a branch of a rose bush, with one stem broken off, 
bearing with it five roses and buds, leaving five 
roses on the principal stem, emblematic of the num* 
ber of the family deceased and living ; under Avhich 
are the words, ^' To my Wife and Children J' ^ On 
the entablature to the left, is the following record : 

S.\RAH SALISBURY TAPPAN, 
wife of 
JOHN TAPPAN, 
departed this life Aug 28,1039- 
If a man die shall he live again ? 
I am the resurection and the life. 



TOUCH NOT THE FLOWERS. 

BY MRS. C. W. HUNT. 

• 0, do not pluck the flowers ; they are sacred to the dead. ' 

Touch not the flowers, the cherished flowers, 
The festal gift of summer hours ; 
They 're holy things; They bloom to shed 
A gladening radiance round the dead ; 
Their glowmg cups and sweet prefume 
Dissolve ihe shadows of the tomb ; 
' Twas no vain love, — the love that gave 
Their vernal freshness to the grave. 

Thesnowy marble's sculptured height, 

May seem to thee a prouder sight, 

And ye may read in language fair, 

High names and deeds emblazoned there; 

But can its gorgeous splendor vie 

With the imperial lily's die ? 

Its shrine a purer record be 

Of all that binds the lost to thee f 

Touch not the flowers ; we know not death 
Amitl their loveliness ; each wreath 
That floats upon the summer gale 
Bears saddening tones from sorrow 's wail ; 
O ! can ye mark their bloom, nor f^eel 
The truth their bursting buds reveal, 
That earth her sacred trust must yield, 
Whether from bower or tented field .' 

TherCj where yon simple daisy rears 
Its smiling head, with many tears 
They laid a fair young bride tn rest ; 
Touch not the flower her love hath blest; 
Within its clustering petals lie 
Memories and hopes that cannot die ; 
Her spirit o'er its leaves hath shed 
A life that animates the dead. 



IIow vain the costly pile to rear 
O 'er those who scorned such trappings here) 
Swifi lime, with strong-, o 'ennaslering- power 
Piostrates high tomb, and lowly flower. 
But summer's breezes shall renew 
The rose's bloom, the violet 's hue ; 
Not so the carved and fretted stone- 
It springs no more ; its glory 's gone. 

Touch not the flowers; O, can there be, 
Childhood, a holier type of thee ? 
A fitter image of thy doom 
Than the wild floweret's transient bloom ? 
Let the pure sculpture gleam for him 
Before whose breath the world grew dirH^ 
But spare to puritv the shiine 
Upspringingby ahand divine. 

Touch not the flowers ; the fervent prayer, 

Poured o'er the en ingslumberer there, 

On incense pinions shall arise. 

With blissful chastenings 10 the skies. 

God speaks in every gjoiious hue, 

Bright words of promise unto you ; 

O 'er all his healing love he sheds 5 

Touch not the flowers. 7'hey are the dead's. 



SUtJGESTION FOR A CATACOMB. 

Self preservation is one of the strongest natural 

I propensities throughout life, and to preserve health 

I during the time of our earthly sojourn, for future 

enjoyments or usefulness, is always accompanying 

ihe desire to prolong our existence. 

When life has departed from the human frame, 
decomposition commences its sIoav, sure, and appal- 
f ing process, and the worms of the earth subsist upon 
I the remains of "what it once was :" during thisop- 
f eration, if it is confined in a tomb, the effluvia, in- 
separable from the decay of animal substances, is 
detrimental to the health of the living, which on 
some occasions, has been the cause of sickness and 
of death. 

If the lifeless form of a friend must be placed in a 
tomb to gratify the wishes of the living, it were bet- 
ter to prepare one for every burial on a small scale, 
yet large enough for a brick-width-wall around the 
body, and that covered with slone slabs, for the sup- 
port of the filling in earth : and thus, a tomb would 



64 



be formed at once, safe from affecting the air we 
live in, while it would obviate all reasonable objec- 
tions to a grave. 

With many persons, the rough and harsh sounds 
which earth and stones produce, on being carelessly- 
shovelled into a grave, is quite a trial to the poig- 
nancy of their aggrieved feelings ; the tomb not re- 
quiring that offensive part of the operation, meets 
with their favor and decided preference; but on ma- 
ture consideration of the objections to a tomb, and 
also to a common grave, the catacomb above recom- 
mended, seems to merit attention and adoption for 
JDeing free from those obnoxious effects. 



A VOICE FROM MOUNT AUBURN. 



BY MISS H. F. GOULD: 

A voice from Mount Auburn ! a voiee !— and it said, 
^Ye have chosen me out as a home for your dead ; 
From the bustle of life ye have rendered me free; 
My earth ye have hallowed— henceforth I shall be 
A garden of graves, where your loved ones shall rest I 
O, who will be first to repose on my breast .'' 

" I now must be peopled from life 's busy sphere ; 
Ye may roam, but the end of your journey is here. 
I shall call ! I shall call ! and many will come 
From the heart of your crowds to so peaceful a home'; 
The great and the good , and the young and the old, 
In death 's dreamless slumbers, my mansions will hold. 

" To me shall the ehild his loved parent resign ; 
And, mother, the babe at thy breast must be mine I 
The brother and sister for me are to part. 
And the lover to break from each lie of the heart. 
I shall rival the bridegroom and take from his side, 
To sleep in my bosom, his beautiful bride. 

"And sweetly secure from all pain they shall lie. 
Where the dews gently fall and the streams ripple by; 
While the birds sing their hymns, amid air-harps, that sound 
Through the boughs of the forest-trees whispermg around. 
And flowers, bright as Eden's, at morning shall snread, 
And at eve drop their leaves o'er theslumberer's bed.! 

" But this is all earthly ! While thus ye enclose 

A spot where your ashes in peace may repose — 

Where the livmg may come and commune with the dead, 

With God and his soul, and with reverence tread 

On the sod, which he soon may be sleeping below, — 

Have ye chosen the home where the spirit shall go ! 



65 



" Shall it Jwell where thcg-ardena of Paradise bloom, 
And flowers are not opening' to die on the tomb ? 
With tliesong-of an angel, a vesluie of light, 
Shall it live in a world fiee from shadow and blight; 
Where the waters are pure, fiom a fount never sealed, 
And the secietsof iieaven arc in^glory revealed i 

*' A day "hastens on— and an arm shall then break 
The bars of the tomb — the dread irunip shall awake 
The dead fioni tl>fii sleep in the eatth and the sea, 
And,' Render up thine !' shall he sounded to me ! 
Prepare for that hour, that my people may stand, 
Unawed by the scene, at the judge 's right hand ! "

GARDEN CEMETERY IN CHELSEA. 

The Cemetery in Chelsea, on Central Avenue and 
Shawmut street, comprises three and one-tenth acres 
of land, purchased ol' the Winnissimmet Academy, 
for about $12,100 : it will comprise about 550 lots 
of 300 square feet each : 66 lots have been sold, at 
prices varying from $25,00 to $53,00. The conse- 
cration took place Kov. 4, 1841, with prayers by 
Rev. Mr. Langworihy, Rev. J. S. Springer, an ad- 
dress from the Rev. S. D. Robbins, and by singing 
the following beautiful 

HYMN. 

Home of the 00011116: dead ! 
The spol wheieon we tread 

Is nallowcd giound : 
Here earth, in sacred trust, 
Shall liold their sleeping dust, 
Uatil hei honds they burst, 

And rise ui.bouud 

Here shall the weary rest, 
And souls, with woes oppressed, 

No inoie sh;.ll weep : 
And youth and age shall come, 
And beaiily in her bloom, 
And Manhood, lo the tomb j — 

Sweet be theii sleep ! 

Around their lowly bed 

Shall flowers their fragrance shed. 

And birds shall sing : 
On every vcidant mound 
Love 's oflei ing shall be found, 
And sighing lites around 

Theii- shadows fling. 

The stars all night shall keep 
Their vigils while they sleep; 

And llie pale Moon 
Shall lend her gentle ray, 
To light the mourners way, 
Who seeks at eve to stray 

And weep alone. 

Eut there 's a holier light ! 
Hope, with her taper bright. 

On eveiy tomb, 
Points upwaid to the sky ; 
Theie every ttar is dry ; 
Therc^ia no mourner 's sigh, 

Kordeath, nor gloom' 



67 



Father ! to Thee we bow 
In adoration now, 

And bless thy love, 
For the assuiaace given 
Of lile with ihee in Heaven : 
Though here by lempesls driven, 

Theie's rest above. 

The project for founding a Cemetery in Chelsea, 
originated with Mr. Simeon Butterfiekl and a few 
others, and Mr. B. was chosen President of the As- 
sociation ; under whose guidance the good work has 
thus far prospered, and as yet, holds out prospects 
for greater and more beneficial results for time to 
come. 



Harmony Grove Cemetery, Salem, Mass. 

The first meeting had on the subject of a Ceraete 
ry at Salem was in Lyceum Hall in Febuary 1837, 
originating with \Vm. H. Foster and P. Dodge, 
but the then difiicullles attending the prosecution 
of the object were sufficient at that time to defer ap- 
pi'opriations to more favorable auspices. On the 
third of September, 1834, another meetmg was 
held at the same hall, when Stephen C. Phillip s, 
presided as chairman and William H. Foster, as 
secretary ; on the sixth of that month, another meet- 
ing was held under the same officers, when Messrs. 
Francis Peabody, Joseph S. Cabot and Geo. Wheat- 
land were chosen a committee for purchasing part 
of the present grounds : those gentlemen with 
Messrs. A. L. Peirson. S. C. Phillips, J. C. Lee, and 
Wm. Sutton, all of Salem, and Mr. Fitch Pool, of 
Danvers, were the most influential movers in the 
plan, and in carrying it out to its present beauty, 
perfection and usefulness. 

The quantity of land purchased for this Cemetery 
was thirty five acres, at a cost of about 7000 dollars, 
being 200 dollars per acre. 

Mr. Alexander Wadsworth of Boston, surveyed 
the grounds, and laid out the walks and avenues, 
and Mr. Francis Peabody, designed the gate way 
which were built of stone. The 



69 



Pioprietors were incarptiraled in 1840. The con- 
secration look place on Sunday, at 5 o'clock P. M., 
June i4th, (postponed from the 13th, on account of 
disagreeable weather,) seals were provided for three 
thousand persons, gradually ascending from Dell 
Avenue, near to Chapel Hill ; the ground there be- 
ing in the natural form of an amphiteatre ; a rustic 
bower was raised where the interesting services of 
the occasion were performed, and it was estimated, 
that, in that silent and attentive assembly of friends 
and brothers, there must have been from six tcv 
eight thousand persons. 

The Hon. Daniel A. While, delivered an address 
suitable toithe time, place and occasion. Prayers 
were oifered up by the Rev. Dr. B. Emerson of Sa- 
lem, and Rev. Charles C. Sewall, of Danvers ; odes 
sung from, the pen of Rev. James Flint, and Wm. 
W. W'arland, of Salem, and at the close of the cer- 
emonies, the whole audience united in singing a 
hymn to Old Hundred, from the pen of Nathaniel 
Lord, Jr. Thus finished and closed, one of the- 
brightest and most agreeable days ever enjoyed by 
the good people of Salem and its precincts. 

On the 16th of June, a public sale was held for a 
premium bid on a choice for lots, and seventy-seven 
were disposed of, for 512 dollars above the minimum 
price, that bemg ten cents a square foot, for lots of 
300 sqaare feet each ; thirty-six additional lots, 
were sold a few days afterwards, making 1-13 
lots in all, at the opening of the cemetery. The 
highest eminence is Chapel Hdl, which spot is re- 
served by the proprietors for the erection of a Chap- 
el at some favorable opportunity ; above 14,000 dol- 
lars have been expended in improving the grounds, 
and a number of mausoleums and obelisks, have 
been placed there, possessing much beauty in design 
and execution, with handsome enclosures to the lots; 
above 220 lots were disposed of by March, 1843. 

The whole grounds were within the iDoundary 
line of Danvers, until by a Legislative enactment in 



1840, the land was annexed to Salem, as also the 
three public avenues which lead to it ; in the au- 
tumn of 18 10, a road was constructed from the prin- 
cipal street in Danvers, to the Cemetery, and a 
gateway erected at that entrance in 1841. 

The City government of Salem, united at an early 
date with the proprietors of Harmony Grove Ceme- 
tery in giving prosperity, stability, and usefulness 
to ihe undertaking, by a vote of 2000 dollars lor live 
lots in difierent locations on the grounds, for the use 
of the ciiy of Salem; comprising in all about 
three acres of land, but subject to the future care 
and government of the officers of the cemetery; 
and to meet the expressed wishes of many citizens- 
of Salem, other burial grounds have been enlarged 
and made capacious enough for all required purpo- 
ses for centuries to come. 

'•' Harmony Grove Cemetery " seems as if na- 
ture had formed the spot for the purposes to which 
it is now consecrated : there are extensive views 
from its eminences ; wild and picturesque dells ; 
rough and craggy elevations of rocks ; deep decliv- 
ities covered with moss grown trees, open plains, 
shady groves, and sunny glades. Improvements 
will be continued to be made in ornamenting the 
grove with all the variety of trees and shrubs that 
will endure our climate; the attainment of the latter 
object being a permanent and prominent purpose 
with the designers of, and with the present govera- 
ment of the cemetery. 

Meditation. 

" It is not an unprofitable employment to fre- 
quently meditate on the transitory nature of the 
enjoyments of life, the uncertainty of their continu- 
ance and the last solemn scene which closes the ef- 
forts and puts a period to the exertions of the strong- 
est as well as the weakest of mankind ; meditation 
has a tendency to improve the kind affections, tp 
curb, and to correct the aberrations incident in 
a greater or less degree to every one, and to impress.

mortality with a proper estimate of the vanities of 
lite. VVhcn we reflect, that notwithstanding the 
noise and parade made among our fellow creatures, 
and though we may trace a long line of illustrious 
ancestors, or vested with the greatest power, or if 
possessed of a superabundance of wealth, yet the 
lime is fast approaching when all these things shall

OUR DAILY PATHS . 

BY MRS. HE MANS. 

There's beauty all around our paths, if but our watchful eyes 
l^aii trace it midst familiar things, aid ibrougrh their lowly g-uise ; 
We may find it where a hedg:ero\Y showers iis bloss ms o 'er our way. 
Or a coUasre- window sparkles forth in the last red light of day. 

Wo may find it where a spring- shines clear, beneath an agred tree, 
W^ith liie foxgrlove o'er the water's glass borne downwaidsby the bee ; 
Or where a switt and sunny gleam on the birchen stems is thrown, 
And a soft wind playing parts the leaves, in cop^cj green and lone. 

We may find it in the wi iter boughs, as they cross the cold blue sky, 
While sofi on icy pool and stream their pencilled shadows lie, 
When we lookupm their tracery, by the fairy frost-work bound. 
Whence thellitting ledbreast shakes a shower of crystals to the ground. 

Tes ! l>eauty dwells tn aH'our paths— but sorrow too is there ; 
llow oft some cloud wilhin,us dinij the bright, still summer air 
When we carrv our sick hearts ah' oad amidst the joyous things 
That through the leafy plates glance, on many colored wings. 

With sliadows from the past we fill the happy woodland shades, 
And a mournful memory of the dead is with us in. the glades ;. 
Andourdrcain-like fancies lenl the wind an echo's plaintive tonC) 
Of voices, and of melodies, and of silvery iaugliler goue. 

But are we free to do e'en thus— to wander as we will—. 
Bearing sad visions tbiougli the grove, and o'er the breezy hill.' 
No I in our daily paths lie caios, that ofttiines bind us fast, 
While from their narrow round we see the golden day flee past. 

They hold us from the woodlark's haunis, and the violet-dingles back, 
And from the lovely sounds and gleams, in the shining liver's track; 
They bar us from our heritage of spring-time hope anil mil th. 
And weigh our burdened spirits down with the cumbering dust of earth. 

Vet should this be f Too much, too soon, dospnndingly we yield ! 
Abetter lesson we are taught by the lilies of the field ! 
A. sweeter by the birds of Heaven— whick tell us, in their flight, 
or one that through the desert air forever guides them right 1 



71 



Shall not this kiiowle;Ig-e calm our hearts, and hid vain conflicts cease 
—Aye, whun lliey coiniiiune with themselves in holy hours of peace. 
And feel that by the lig-hts an 1 clouds ihroug-h which our pathway lie» 
By the beauty and the grief alike, we are training for the skies ! 



" Oak Hill Cemetery, Newbitrypokt." 
This Cemetery was consecrated oa the 2Lst., of 
July 1842, with prayers by the Rev. Mr. Campbell, 
Rev. Dr. Dana, and the Rev. W. Dimmick ; an in- 
terestins^ and instructive address by the Rev. Jon- 
a.than F. Stearns ; the whole services made pleas- 
ing and impressive by odes from the pens of the 
Hon. George Lunt, and Miss H. F. Gould. 

'' Oak Hill Cemetery " is located on the flat sur- 
face of a hill, comprising about four and a half 
acres, mostly covered with, a strong growth of oak 
trees, about one third of a mile from Newburyport, 
via., Newbury, on the south, of the Newburyport 
Turnpike ; the M'est-south-west side of the hill, is 
bounded by a steep and abrupt slope. 233 lots have 
been laid out, varying from 150 to 400 square feet 
each, 75 of which have been sold at various prices ; 
all future lots are to be disposed of at 10 cents the 
square foot. 

A few extracts may be made from the address 
with good results; on page 3d, the Rev'd. orator ob- 
serves, "on recurring to the history of our race, we 
are at no loss to find facts on the subject of respect 
for the remains of the dead : from the massy pyra- 
mid, the spacious catacomb, the beautiful mauso- 
leum, and the bulky mound, to the simple flower- 
border and head-stone, which in some village 
grave-yard marks the spot where an infant's dust 
may rest; there are monuments encompassing 
the world, which bear witness to the existance of 
this sentiment. Ancient sepulchres may be found 
in all ancient countries ; they abound through Eu- 
rope and Asia, are crowded thick in some portions 
of Africa and are scattered every where on both di- 
visions of the American continent, some of them, 
supposed to be older than the pyramids."

Again, excellent observations on page 18. "Re- 
specting burial in Tombs or in the earth, there will 
of course be some difl'erence of opinion. For my- 
self I should give the preference to the latter. The 
vault frequently opened, exposes too often to the 
vulgar gaze the relics of what once was most dear 
to us, and the exhalations from a Tomb are injuri- 
ous to the living : besides, the process of dissolu- 
tion is too appalling; I would have it, if possible, go 
on and be consummated in the deepest seclusion of 
nature. Let us never see the loved form ot the de- 
parted, after death has began to mar its beauty and 
expression ; let the last impression if possible, be a 
natural and treasured one ; and however reluctant- 
ly, let us then take a long farewell, and memory 
thenceforth, be the guardian of a form that can nev- 
er be restored." 

We close our remarks, with an extract from page 
21. " We wish a spot so arranged and appropria- 
ted, that affection may feel free to indulge itself in 
adorning the repose of the departed, and where the 
taste of individuals may have scope, and the living 
be attracted, not repelled. Such a place is the spot 
we now occupy ; its surface presents a pleasing va- 
riety ; the broad level abov3 ns, affords a favourable 
opportunity for the display of taste in the embellish- 
ments of art, while the stately oaks, venerable in all 
ages, awakens the most venerable of associations; the 
heights and valleys, the steep declivities and gentler 
slopes, present a pleasing aspect to the lover of na- 
tures irregularities. From the highest eminence, 
the prospect is varied and delightful ; on the north is 
our own beautiful town, dear at all times to the 
hearts of its sons ; on the west is the hill where 
your venerable sires, with a portion of their off- 
spring now slumber. On the south are the broad 
fields and meadows, extending far away towards 
the neighboring villages and bounded by blue hills 
and forests. On the east you may discern through 
the trees the mighty sea, that common cem.etery of 



n 



the world ; whose voice chants a low dirge, as the 

■ east wind stirs up its waves, and Avhich seems to 

■ bewail its o.vn dead gathered from every age and 
' and every clime." 

''Oar ambition is not great in this matter, as in- 
deed all ambiiion were incongruous in connection 
with a place of rest for the dead. We do not think 
to vie with iMouiit Auburn or Harmony Grove. It 
is enough for u-s, if we secure to ourselves a quiet, 
tasteful, hallowed spot, where the dust of our depart- 
[ ing friends may be treasured and where we our- 
[ selves may repose by their side, when the last scene- 
I of nature closes on our view. Such a spot, is 
"Oak Hill Cemsiery"; a perfect gem of its kind, 
and although small in comparison with some others, 
it is large enough for the present wants of this place, 
. admitting readily of future enlargement, as occa- 



A DEATH SCENE. 

BY MRS. L. J. B. CASE. 



'T is evening- 's htish; the first faint shades arccrceping^ 
Thioush the still room, and o'er the ciniained bed, 

Where lies a weaiy one. all calmly sleeping-, 
Touched with the Iwilig ht of the land of dread. 

Denlh 's ro1(l £^rev shadow o 'er her fpatiives falling', 
I\laik.lier upon tlu- lliie^hold of the toml, ; 

Yet fioni wiiliin no *i<; lit nor sound appalling-, 
Comes o 'er her -.piiil with a thought of gloom. 

See ! on her palid lip hrij^ht smiles are wreathing:, 
While, from the tranquil g^ladness of her hreast, 

Sweet, holy words in g:entiest tones ar« Ijreathiag). 
" Come u7ito vie, aad I will give you }:est .'" 

Ni?ht grathers round— chill, moonless, yet with tender. 
Mild, radiant stars, like countless angel-eyes, 

Bendin;^ serenely from their homes of splendor 
Above the couch where that meek dreamer lies. 

The hoirrs wear on ; the shaded lamp burns dimmer, 
And ebbs that sleeper 's breath as wanes the night, 

And still wiih looks of love those soft stars g^liiumer 
Along their pathways of unchanging: light.

She slumbers still, and (he pale, wasted finsrers 
Arejeully laiiuJai il'she dieaiiieJ ot prayer 5 

And Oil that lip su vvanlhii =d:nc =uiile lingers, 
Aad iiiii iUjjk Uui.i'ui woi Jj a.e tieuijlui^ there. 

The nig^hl 15 done; the cold and solemn dawning: 
Willi stately tread goci up the ea'ten sky ; 

But vai.i its pjvver, a. id vfaiii the pj.np of uurningr 
To lilt the daikneji iVoji that Jyiiig' eye. 

Yet Heaven "s full joy is on that spirit beaming, 
The soul has loii.id iti hig-he/, happier birth, 

And bii^hter shapss liil ih ojg-hils oiessed dreaming- 
Than ever gather round the sleep ol' earth. 

The sun i; high, but from Ihose pale lips parted, 
No more tnoie woidi ilit on uiii languid breath. 

Yet still the exp e.jioa ol the happy-hearted, 

Has iriuuiphed o'er the mouriiiul shades of death. 

Through the hushed room the mid-day ray has wended 
Its glowing pniioa to a putseleii b east ; 

The geiitit; sleeper's inoi tal di earns aie ended; 
The soul lusgune to him whogives it rest !

At the junction nf Holly path with Central square, 
is a lowly cenotaph, as represented in the vignette. 
The Bible opened, and encircled with a branch of 
olive, resting on an inclined slab, supported by a 
marble base. On the left page, " Whosoever liveth 
and believeth in me, shall never die," and on the right
